A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in ...

Episodic memory is a form of long-term memory that captures the details of past events that one has personally experienced. Along with semantic memory, it is considered a kind of explicit memory, ...

Declarative memory can be further broken down into semantic memory and episodic memory. Semantic memory refers to general knowledge about the world. For example, knowing that cats are mammals.

Researchers have investigated the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory: general semantic, personal semantic and episodic memory. Long-term memory can be ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks. Researchers expected clear differences but instead found strong overlap ...

A new study into how different parts of memory work in the brain has shown that the same brain areas are involved in retrieving different types of information, the findings could redefine how memory ...

Memory defines us in so many ways, but it’s not exactly what we think it is. We tend to imagine memory almost like a filing cabinet — a faithful record of the past we can pull from when needed. But ...
